Feedback about room temperature sensor with standalone ATMEGA328P and DHT22

After some months of low cost low power room sensor usage here is the feedback.The sensor send every hour to OpenHAB with the OpenMQTTGateway temperature, voltage and humidity data, it is powered by 3 AA alkaline batteries.But the most interesting thing about this sensor is how the battery voltage decrease so as to have an idea on the batteries lifetime.Here is below voltage (mV) graph on the last day, month and 4 months sent by the sensor (the charts are updated every day):

Day

Month

4 months

We can see that on a 4 months duration the battery decreased around 0,1V. If we consider an end of life at 3V for our 3 AA batteries this give us a lifetime of

The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, It enables to:receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets) with software like openhab.

The interest of putting this gateway to an ESP8266 and not on a raspberry pi is to be able to manage security actions at gateway level (power on a siren, cut power to certain devices) following RF data received by sensors without being dependent to the PI for security related actions.

[EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository take a look at it you will find up to date info about OpenMQTTGateway

Following discussions on the home assistant forum people gave me the idea to add Infrared communication to the 433mhz gateway.

The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors, infrared remote controls and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, infrared devices, It enables to:receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal receive MQTT data from a topic and send infrared signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received infrared signal It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets), your tv, home cinema, hifi ... with software like openhab or home assistant.
